Engineering related to vehicle side ladder
Since some pick-up truck type automobiles are very high, it is a problem for users who gets in and out from the passenger cabin, and they are also used for heavy duty tasks or off-road tasks, whereby they are used for travelling on bumpy and rough surfaces. For this reason, there is a risk of impact to the automobile undercarriage or along the side of the passenger cabin door from debris or uneven surfaces, which causes damage to the automobile. Therefore, the present invention will solve this problem.
The function of conventional vehicle side ladder is as a support for stepping up and down when getting into the passenger cabin, which is attached to the undercarriage at the side of the passenger cabin door and is lower than the door and protrudes from the side of the automobile to support the user's steps, wherein the attachment is fixed and cannot be moved or folded. This kind of attachment, when used for stepping in and out when the automobile travels around, since it is low and protrudes from the automobile body, will impact uneven surfaces and the pavement, causing damage. If it is foldable, it will be implemented by an electrical system or have many complex parts. Furthermore, an alternative kind of conventional vehicle side ladder, is used as a fender to prevent impact and debris from hitting it, and is attached to the undercarriage at the side of the passenger cabin. This vehicle side ladder is attached as a fender to the lower edge of the door, which makes this usage a one-way operation. Therefore, the efficiency is not maximized.
The vehicle side ladder attached to the automobile with the vehicle side ladder is used for stepping in and out of the passenger cabin, and can be folded up and down, whereby the supporting beam can be folded snugly against the side of the automobile body in order to avoid impact from uneven surfaces and pavements, or the supporting beam used for stepping down from the passenger cabin comfortably.
One objective of the present invention is to enable it to be attached to various types of automobiles.
Another objective of the present invention is to enable the vehicle side ladder to be folded up and down from the automobile securely.
